At home in the buzzing and relentless cyberspace like no other electro project, EXT!ZE truly stirred
up the electro scene in the previous year. With provocative singles like “Gothic Pussy” or the
futuristic nightmares on the debut “FallOut Nation” the German-French friendship unmistakably
clarified that their music, however convincing, is far from everything these neon-colored dancefloor
terrorists have to offer – no matter whether on stage, in the clubs or in the homes of the swelling
ranks of followers.
Since EXT!ZE fired their first ear-piercing EP “Hellektrostar” through the guts of the dark club
culture, the Hellectro prophets had not a single minute to rest: Constantly working on their very
unique vision of pulsating cyberspace universes, they always walked the thin red line between wry
provocation and massive club fodder – a mission now facing its temporary climax: With the double
album “Paradize 2069”, EXT!ZE ultimately enter the futuristic cosmos of their songs and shows
and dive so very deep into the cyberspace that a return to this reality gets more and more unlikely
with each passing track.
What’s remarkable: “Paradize 2069” is thoroughly based on an elaborate Science Fiction story
written by the band itself whose coldly menacing cyberspace aura provides the stage for the furious
hymns of this second album and which will be made available as an audio book digitally – free of
charge! Held in a post-apocalyptic tenor, “Paradize 2069” tells the story of the hacker and data
collector Ace who spends his days solely in digital cyberspace universes. He encounters the both
tempting and enigmatic dancer Mira in a club and gets infected by a killer virus through the plug in
his head soon after. A cyberspace race against death and for humanity commences, adequately
driven by hyperactive beat monsters and harsh bass attacks.
Endtime Electro, Terror Trance and Insane Industrial gather to form an explosive sound cocktail
epitomizing relentless club culture on chapter one (“Hell”) and trademark beat cascades with
surprisingly calm moments on the second CD (“Heaven”). Both works get united by the utopian
and yet realistic background story that is present throughout the songs. Comparable to a good book,
the cyber disciples EXT!ZE took great care that the 30 tracks (among them remixes by STRAFTANZ,
HELALYN FLOWERS, FROZEN PLASMA and others) never lack the dynamics elementary for creating the
dramaturgy worthy of such a concept. Thus, “Paradize 2069” became a fatally danceable and
familiarly flashy as well as an extremely profound and contemporary masterpiece that sounds as if
Philip K. Dick popped a few pills and then invented Electro. EXT!ZE are the kings of Cyberelectro
